InfoProcess Major Curriculum|Modify|Ugrad/ProStatus PendingSubmitter O'Sickey,Lynn B [email protected] 11/5/2014 7:50:27 PMUpdated 1/29/2015 4:05:42 PMDescription The changes are the inclusion of the State Gen Ed Core in the recommended

semester plans for this major (residential and UFO).

In the catalog copy, we made some edits for clarity and consistency with other CLASmajors – adding in the credits each required course is worth, dividing majorrequirements into categories, and corrections of typographical errors. There are nochanges to the major requirements, just changes to how they are presented.

Computer Science (CLAS)

This program combines the study of computer science with a liberal arts education. It prepares

students for employment as computing professionals while offering significant freedom to

choose coursework in other areas. The major is especially popular with students who wish to

double major in computer science and another major in CLAS.

Modify the Curriculum of a Major Revised 2/2/2015 UF, Academic Affairs

Modify the Curriculum of a Major This process should be used to change the required or elective coursework in a graduate or professional major, or the eight-semester plan or critical tracking in an undergraduate major. To change the total credits, limited access status, major name, delivery platform or funding model, follow the procedures at http://approval.ufl.edu. Instructions for completing this form are on the last page.

Major to be Modified

1. Major Name Computer Science 2. Major Code CSC

3. Degree Program Name Bachelor of Science

4. Effective Term Summer B 2015

5. Proposed Changes

Most changes are the inclusion of the State Gen Ed Core in the recommended semester plan for this major. We have also included changes approved by the UCC in 2013 that were omitted from the catalog but should have been in there. In the catalog copy, we made some edits for clarity and consistency with other CLAS majors – adding in the credits each required course is worth, dividing major requirements into categories, and corrections of typographical errors. There are no changes to the major requirements, just changes to how they are presented.

6. Pedagogical Rationale/Justification

Changes mandated by the State

7. Projected Impact on Initial Enrollment, Retention, Graduation

None

Prepare a document showing the catalog copy with the current and proposed curricula either in a side-by-side comparison or edited using the “track changes” feature in Word.

Prepare supporting documentation from other colleges indicating availability of seats in courses that are affected by the change in credits and support for the proposed application, if overlap is a concern.

Modify the Curriculum of a Major Revised 2/2/2015 UF, Academic Affairs

Instructions Please note: this form should be used to request a change in the required or elective coursework in an undergraduate or professional major, or the eight-semester plan or critical tracking in an undergraduate major. To change the total credits, limited access status, major name, delivery platform or funding model, follow the procedures at http://approval.ufl.edu..

Major to Be Modified 1. Enter the name of the major. Example: “Mathematical Modeling” 2. Enter the two-letter or three-letter major code. 3. Enter the name of the degree program in which the major is offered. 4. Enter the term (semester and year) that the curriculum change would be effective.

Proposed Changes 5. Describe the proposed changes to the curriculum.

Pedagogical Rationale/Justification 6. Describe the rationale for the proposed changes to the curriculum.

Projected Impact on Initial Enrollment, Retention, Graduation 7. Describe any potential impact of the curriculum changes on students who are currently in the major.
